Those legally in possession of home taken away from horsewomen (6)
I believe the answer is:
owners
'horsewomen' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for owners that I've seen before include "Holders, possessors" , "Legal possessors" , "Worsen for possessors" , "Those in lawful possession, as of house" , "Proprietors" .)
